Letters were used over other means of communication as they were considered to be much faster than modes of communication. International Amateur Day reminds the world of the great pioneers who worked relentlessly focusing on the history and importance of radio and how it has been serving the community for over 100 years now.

International Amateur Radio Day is also known as International Amateur Day. The great pioneers found a way through which people can connect and unite with people across the globe. Reportedly, IARU has over 3,000,000 licensed radio operators working and spreading their voices in the whole world.
